ATKINSON ON WAGES AND LABOR

Edward Atkinson, the eminent statis-
tician, holds that at the present time the
average rate of wages in the United States
In nearly every art is higher than ever be-
fore; higher, with very few exceptions,
than at the worst period of paper money
imitation in 1865, '66 and '67 On the
other hand, the prices of the necessaries
Of life are lower than they have been since
1910. He adds; "If we compute wages
both in rate and in purchasing power, men
Of special skill and aptitude who are now
occupied as foremen, overseers, or in the
very highest departments of the mechanic
arts are 100 per cent. better off than at
the date named, for comparison, to wit ::
1S65-67. The average mechanic or arti-
san is 75per cent better off. The common
iaborer Is 10 per cent. better off, There
has been a short period during the last five
years when good many common laborers
were out of employment owing to the sud
den cessation of railway building between
1882 and 1884. In the same period very
small portion of the operatives in iron
works and other artisans found it difficult
to obtain work. The number unemployed
was, L think, much exaggerated. That
period has gone by" Mr. Atkinson then
makes thisunmistakabie challenge: "There
is work now waiting to be done for every
industrious man or woman who will accept
the conditions on which ii is offered and
those conditions are, as rule, better than
they ever were before, the exceptions be-
ing III some of the most crowded parts of
few large cities. If, then, there is want in
the midst of plenty, it may neither be i'm
puted to institutions, to an undue share
falling to capital, nor to obstructive stat
utes IN any great measure. 1t is due in
most cases either to physical disability, ac-
cidental misfortune, or to mental incap-
acity, unwillingness to undertake the kind
of work that is waiting to be done"

HENRY GEORGE in his preaching at
Chickering Hall talked about the social
crime Of poverty" which his new society
is to abolish. This is catch phrase with
George, and is meaningless What he is
driving at through high-sounding phrases
is to enlist the sympathies of the working
classes with his scheme to confscate prop
erty, under the plea of taxing away the
unearned increment. And his confiscation
of rent would work this way After A and
B, man and wife, had by hard labor for
years accumulated savings and purchased
bit of land that would yield them liv-
ing, and their additional labor in other
years should double the value of the soil
and rent it on that basis, George and Nc
Glynn would come along with their pet
system and seize upon this income for the
benefit of such people as had not followed
the example of A and B. For the scheme
of these reformers draws no line between
the landholding of thousand and of ten
acres. Rent, no matter from what sized
tract derived, is the thing they propose to
annihilate. As the Chicago Tfmes-whicI
takes especial interest in faying these
false teachers-puts it: "This programme
of wholesale .con6scation is fine one, is il
not, for the abolition of poverty 1t is q
fine thing to be preached every Sunday
evening in a religious way under the
auspices of a society presided over by one
who is still a priest of the Church o.
Rome, and who processes to be teacher Of
Christianity! The holy religion of confis.
cation for the benefit of the poor, forsooth

1T is important that Sacramento should
decide very early how it will observe the
national holiday. Let not the matter be
put over until few weeks before the date.
Such delay always results in hasty, costly
and insufficient celebration All we do in
the matter of public displays hereafter
should be well and thoroughly done, and
made creditable in the highest degree to
the public spirit of the people, their
patriotism and the sentiment that spurs us
up to progressive movements of all kinds. In
the present march of the State Sacramento
cannot afford to mark time; whatever adj
vance she makes should be up to or in ex-
cess of the best done by Others Let us take
time by long forelock, and make our ma
tional celebration thing to attract atten-
ton far and wide, and thus, while fostering
the patriotic spirit, serve turn in adver-
Using the city, and the energy and enter
prise of her people.

THE position of the London Times re-

The position of the London Times re-
garding the Parnell forgery is not one to
be envied by the self-respecting. 1t sprung
forged letter upon Parnell at time
when it was too late for him to reply. 1t
challenged the accused to prove that the
letter was not genuine; or, as the Times
puts it, Mr.. Parnell can not expect that
a simple reputation of the letter will
have any weight with public opinion He
must bring more solid proofs to annul the
effect of the disclosures That paper had
made an agreement with the Tories that
it would print the letter if they would
guarantee the journal against Parlia-
mentary inquiry, and the contract has
been kept. In such an inquiry the Times
could be forced to disclose the author of
the forgery; in an action against it for libel
this cannot be done. All of which puts
the greatest of British journals in an atti-
tude any crossroads sheet in America
would be ashamed to occupy.

PROFIT SHARING.

Mr.. Wanamaker of Philadelphia is di.
viding 100000 year among his employees
according to the proft-sharing system. The
sum IS drawn from the profits of his bust
ness. This is an exempiifcation-though
not so striking one as that of the Sacra-
mento firm referred to the other day-of
profit sharing, but it is not cooperation.
1t resembles it only in The creation of a
personal interest in the employee in the
business of the employer. But the line of
control over the capital remains, and it is
wholly within the hands of the employer.
In cooperation, however, there is not only
profit sharing but responsibility and loss
sharing. 1t is this that gives character to
the co-operator which will never distin-
guish the profit sharer. Profit sharing is
well as far it goes; it is better than single
wage paying; but the same energy that is
stimulated under it, if aggregated in CO.
operation would produce far greater and
better results. For all employment by
another is dependence on the part of the
employe. Where the latter is his own
employer he is wholly independent, and
therefore better capacitated to labor and
to produce. In England, where profit
sharing has been tried, the workers were
willing enough to share profits, but in the
of years unwilling to share losses by re-
duction in wages. Yet nothing is clearer
than this, that if one shares in the gains
of venture in which he Iabors he ought
to share in the losses as matter of pure
justice. But the worker replies: 81 would
be willing to do this if | were interested
in the capital and shared in all the profits"
How much more, if another supplies the
capital and organizes the labor, should the
worker who shares profits in addition to
liked wages, be willing to share losses by
wage reduction? Under cooperation the
interest in the capital and organization
would be mutual, and the sharing be that
of all the profits and increased values of pos
session and enhancement Of the good will
1t will thus be seen that there is a very
wide distinction between the two systems
And yet, as one means of reducing the
artificial friction between capital and labor
which is the outgrowth of false teaching
and the neglect to study the question from
the standpoint of reason and unselfshness
profit sharing is to be commended. 1t
serves to enlighten men upon the possibili-
ties that dwell in the logical sequence of
profit sharing-co-operation.

Teachers Institutes and Keadir

and every one had a part in the pro-
gramme. The work was earnest, practical
and useful. A County Teachers Reading
Circle was organized for the mutual, pro-

| charge than judicious, systematic course
| of professional and literary reading on the
part of the teachers. AT the recent meeting
of the County Institute at Los Angeles, =
| County Teachers Reading Circle was

the State. Mr.. Hoitt seems to fully appre-
ciate the importance of his office to the ris-
ing generation, and is proceeding actively
to discharge its duties. He goes below to-

Says the Louisville Courier-Jownal :
The contest over that baneful measure,
the interstate law, will be fought between
Eastern influences on the one hand, with
the West and South and Eastern interests
dependent on the prosperity of the West
and South opposing. In all such contests
heretofore the East has triumphed, but it
seems that at this time the chances are
against them. The evils of the new sys-
tenn are too apparent and too aggravated to
pass unnoticed they must be remedied.'
These evils are the legislative attempt to
interrupt free competition by regulation
the attempt to treat transportation as COM
merce; the effort to protect the manufact-
urers of the far East at the expense of the
West, and in all sections at the cost of the
